Ren Dijian learned that the news of the Emperor Taishang's westward journey was much earlier than the others. Initial Update@

After learning that the Emperor Taishang had arrived at the border fortress and was escorted by tens of thousands of troops, he traveled all the way west along the Great Wall, Ren Dijian felt a fire in his heart.

Is it because the thin horses in Yangzhou are not energetic, or are the men in Shandong not enjoyable enough?

Is it because the rice in Gangnam Province is not fragrant enough, or is the wheat in Gangnam Province not fresh enough?

Isn't it good for the Emperor Taishang to stay in the Central Plains without dying, why do you have to go to the outside of the Saiwai to eat sand!

It doesn't matter if the emperor comes, the key is that the Hedong Festival makes Yan Shou!

It's a dignified envoy of Hedong Jiedu, and he is transferring grain and grass, and he is transferring troops and horses, and he has traveled thousands of miles from too far to the north of Ulzhou to serve, in Ren Dijian's opinion, this damn Yan Shou almost ran to the side of the emperor's bed to help the emperor push **.

Ren Dijian dared to bet with anyone, with Yan Shou's example, the current Zhenwu Army Festival Envoy Yan Juyuan would definitely choose the same way as Yan Shou, greet him personally, and accompany him throughout the process.

Originally, Zhenwu Army was almost eaten away by himself, if there was no accident, give him another year, he could definitely drive Yan Juyuan away, even if he stayed, it would be no problem to overhead him,

Now that the Emperor is here, with the support of the Emperor Tai, Yan Juyuan must be hardened again, and he must feel that he is doing it again.

At the thought of this, Ren Dijian felt like eating a fly.

What's even worse is that the two previous festival envoys have done this, what should they do......

In fact, similar to Ren Dijian's prediction, after confirming that the Emperor Taishang was coming, Yan Juyuan personally greeted him, lined up to welcome him, accompanied him throughout the process, and performed the dog's legs to the fullest.

In high spirits, the Emperor Taishang stayed directly in the Shan Yu Protectorate for five days, and accompanied by Yan Juyuan, he walked Shan Yu in and out of the Metropolitan Protector's Mansion.

While the others focused their attention on the Emperor Taishang, Ren Dijian, who was in Fengzhou, focused on the Emperor's entourage.

Emperor Taishang attracted the attention of the vast majority of people, so much so that many people forgot that these five days were also a rare opportunity to rest for the forbidden army that had been traveling long distances and marching at high speed for a month.

For five days, the Emperor Taishang had a good time, Yan Juyuan was happy to accompany him, and the forbidden army took advantage of this rare opportunity to recuperate.

After completing the repair and replenishment, the Emperor Taishang led the army to continue westward, targeting Fengzhou and Tiande Army!

Yan Shou of Hedong and Yan Juyuan of Zhenwu have all successfully welcomed the emperor's patrol with their own practical actions, and the pressure at this moment has all fallen into the hands of Ren Dijian, the defense envoy of Fengzhou.

Yan Shou and Yan Juyuan are also forgotten, the key is that the Emperor Taishang has not even arrived in Fengzhou, but as a result, Fan Xichao's gang has begun to mobilize in Shuofang in the name of welcoming the Emperor Taishang.

However, what made Ren Dijian even more uneasy was that at this moment, it was far more than just a group of soldiers and horses of the Emperor Taishang who were marching towards Fengzhou.

Fan Xichao's Shuofang army, Yan Juyuan's Zhenwu army, and Yan Shou's Hedong army also began to press Ren Dijian's Fengzhou from three directions.

The Quartet added up to more than 100,000 troops, which brought great pressure to Ren Dijian.

In this case, the angel who conveyed the will of the Emperor Taishang came to the city of Fengzhou and informed Ren Dijian of the Emperor's itinerary.

The Emperor Taishang has left the Shan Yu Protectorate station, under the escort of the guards, to the direction of Fengzhou, as short as five or six days, the longest will not exceed ten days, the Emperor Taishang and the accompanying soldiers and horses will arrive in Fengzhou.

When the time comes, the Emperor Taishang will inspect the soldiers and horses of the Tiande army, and inspect the defense settings, and ask the defense envoy of Toyosu to prepare carefully.

At the same time, the Emperor's protectors have a total of ...... Person...... Horses need to be received by Toyosu and prepared for grain and grass.

After completing the inspection of the defense of the Tiande army, the Emperor Taishang would continue to march westward and enter the jurisdiction of the Shuofang Jiedu to continue the inspection of the Fan Xi Dynasty.

Sure enough, it was still here that was supposed to come.

However, although the army was pressing, although it could not be refused, such a formal announcement made Ren Dijian a lot easier.

After all, open guns are easy to dodge and hidden arrows are difficult to defend, Li Yuxue entered Yunzhou at night, and Li Yu became famous in the first battle and played a role in all other feudal towns.

Huge deterrent.

If the Emperor Taishang was silent, playing a similar decapitation operation was what Ren Dijian was most afraid of.

Compared with others, Ren Dijian is the most concerned about the movements of Chang'an in all the feudal towns, and he is also one of the few people who has been keeping an eye on the actions of the Emperor Taishang since he left Beijing.

Originally, Ren Dijian was full of doubts about the purpose of the Emperor's tour, but this doubt was answered after the Emperor Taishang arrived in Luoyang, and Ren Dijian believed that the actions in Luoyang had exposed the true purpose of the Emperor Taishang - to make money!

Ren Dijian believes that the reason why Emperor Taishang took tens of thousands of forbidden troops to parade throughout the Tang Dynasty was for one purpose - just to make money, threatening the Xuanwu Army was to make money, besieging Huaixi was making money, and marching into Pinglu was actually making money.

Han Hong of the Xuanwu Army was smart and offered a large sum of money, food, and war horses, so the Xuanwu Army was safe and sound.

Huaixi is purely deserved, the former Huaixi Jiedu was at the peak of the behemoth that crossed the three roads and controlled more than a dozen states, but several rounds of rebellions struck, and now Huaixi is only an empty shell, Wu Shaoxiang will be disarmed, there is only one reason, he is poor!

Only that Li Shigu, relying on his own strength, couldn't see the situation clearly, and insisted on going to the top of the emperor, but as a result, the strong and prosperous Pinglu is now safe?

Wei Bo paid the money, Chengde handed over the territory, and Lu Long bowed his head, which is considered smart, so the emperor didn't make a move, and the two sides tacitly maintained the status quo.

Now, in the case of the pressure of the soldiers, the Emperor Taishang sent someone to inform himself that he would give him money, grain and grass, etc., which is in line with the practice of the Emperor Taishang after his patrol, and it stands to reason that as long as he pays the money, it should be no problem to save his life.

Of course, there is another basis for Ren Dijian to make such a judgment, the smuggling channel that he spent countless efforts to establish - Liu Runlong of Huai'an Fort.

Liu Runlong tried his best to establish the Huai'an Fort, and established a route to steal armaments from within the Hedong Army, and the last one was to transfer the profits from Huai'an Fort to Fengzhou.

It is through Liu Runlong's own efforts to establish such a triangular trade that Ren Dijian's strength has skyrocketed in more than two years, rather than relying on some so-called border trade.

The predecessor of the defense of Toyosu made Li Jingluo not a mediocre talent.

Controlled Fengzhou for several years, sent people to dig through Xianying, Yongqing two canals, irrigated hundreds of hectares of fertile land, both public and private benefited from it, established other reserves, in preparation for the famine year, refurbished weapons, defended against the border of Hui criminals, strict orders, and the military reputation was majestic in the north.

Li Jingluo's posture is very large, and the military discipline is also very strict, all of which have brought Li Jingluo great prestige, but there is one fact that cannot be changed.

During the years that Li Jingluo was in charge of Fengzhou, the Tiande army itself was still 6,000 men and never expanded.

Toyosu is the front line of defense in the north, and its jurisdiction covers most of the Hetao, but the mere 6,000 soldiers and horses are a drop in the bucket for the huge Hetao, and the strategic location of Toyosu is also extremely mismatched, which is the most telling problem.

Only a fool would think that a broken field would bring any real profits, and the so-called triangular trade led by Liu Runlong for Ren Dijian was the real reason for Ren Dijian's expansion.

Although when he fooled Pei Zhi, Liu Runlong scolded Ren Dijian for being a bloody dog, but the more this is the case, the less people will think that Huai'an Fort in this corner will have anything to do with the Fengzhou Tiande Army.

Liu Runlong is very capable, his mind is very active, and his adaptability is also a must, logically speaking, how can such a person be willing to nest in that deserted place to make money for himself.

But Ren Dijian was not afraid, he definitely didn't believe that Liu Runlong would betray him, because in a sense, he could be elected as the defense envoy of Fengzhou after Li Jingluo's death, and Liu Runlong had a great contribution.

Li Jingluo was known for his brutal temperament and strict management of the army, although he brought him a very great reputation, but some things were often too much, and Li Jingluo, who was already brutal, often whipped and beat the soldiers who made mistakes because of trivial matters, and many of them were beaten to death.

Therefore, Li Jingluo has a nickname in the mouth of the Tiande sergeant, "Living Hades!" ”

Li Jingluo, who likes to be lively and likes to drink, often entertains his subordinates. @精华\/Shuge*First update~~

Wenwu and generals, Ren Dijian, who was the judge of the Tiande Army at the time, were also invited.

At a banquet, a distracted Tiande army soldier, who made a mistake in his busyness, mistook vinegar for wine, and then sent a whole bowl of vinegar to Ren Dijian.

At the moment when the vinegar bowl was served to the judge, the confused Tiande army soldier realized that the taste was wrong, and at this moment his mood was terrified, and his hands and feet trembled involuntarily. @精华\/Shuge*First update~~

Smelling a pungent sour smell, Ren Dijian immediately understood the reason, and Ren Dijian knew that if he told Li Jingluo the truth, the sergeant of the Tiande Army who made the mistake was very likely to die.

In the face of the repeated persuasion of the marshal Li Jingluo, in order to help the sergeant of the Tiande Army who made a mistake to cover up the mistake, Ren Dijian forcibly poured a large bowl of vinegar into his stomach and held on until the end of the banquet.
